diff --color-moved=zebra: fix alternate coloring

b0a2ba4776 ("diff --color-moved=zebra: be stricter with color
alternation", 2018-11-23) sought to avoid using the alternate colors
unless there are two adjacent moved blocks of the same
sign. Unfortunately it contains two bugs that prevented it from fixing
the problem properly. Firstly `last_symbol` is reset at the start of
each iteration of the loop losing the symbol of the last line and
secondly when deciding whether to use the alternate color it should be
checking if the current line is the same sign of the last line, not a
different sign. The combination of the two errors means that we still
use the alternate color when we should do but we also use it when we
shouldn't. This is most noticable when using
--color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change with hunks like

-this line gets indented
+    this line gets indented

where the post image is colored with newMovedAlternate rather than
newMoved. While this does not matter much, the next commit will change
the coloring to be correct in this case, so lets fix the bug here to
make it clear why the output is changing and add a regression test.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of “get” may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • “global information tracker”: you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • “goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t”: when it breaks
